Make your animation projects real
animation production
From 20 seconds for TV to 25 minutes for a feature film. I have produced animation for cultural promotion, advertising, and independent creators.Over a decade, I have produced animated content in traditional 2D, stop motion, and experimental mixed media. My experience includes project management, leading teams, direct communication with clients, budgeting, and obtaining financing resources for short films, research projects, and education.
Whether you need to build connections with artists or go full production, I can help you bring your project to reality.
cultural project management
Since 2018 I have self-managed expanded animation events such as musical concerts with animation, live and virtual, animated performance cycles for museums, curatorship for festivals and organization of private events. I recently worked as a curator for the Pixelatl Festival and organized a gif exhibition and panels during it. My strength is to bring together diverse talents and find a way to converge disciplines while creating a pleasant experience for the viewer.

Acervo de Animación mexicana
The main objective of the Mexican Animation Collection is to recognize, classify and organize the works that make up the history of animated cinema in Mexico. It seeks to rescue and preserve the rich history of animation in Mexico, providing animators, professionals, students and the general public with tools that foster understanding and appreciation for this artistic form, as well as its impact on Mexican culture and the film industry. The main tool to achieve this is the Research and Exhibition Database.
